Since the discriminant is positive, this means we have two distinct real solutions.

If a, b, and c are rational numbers, then a discriminant of D = 40 indicates the two solutions are not rational. We would need D to be a perfect square to get two rational solutions.

To answer this you have to use Pythagoras's theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Put in the values:
5^2 + 15^2 = c^2

Simplify it:
25 + 225 = c^2

Simplify again:
250 = c^2

Square root both sides:
15.8113883008 = c

So the ramp is:
15.8113883008 feet

Now round the number:
15.8ft

The above is the answer :)

Answer:

49.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can split the figure into two easier shapes to find the area of; a triangle and a square.

The formula for a triangle is (b*h)1/2. Once we solve we get 24.5 or 24 1/2.

The formula for a square is l*w. Once we solve we get 25.

To find the area of the shaded region, we would add both area and get 49.5 or 49 1/2 square inches.
